What you'll need to bring

When you’re buying or selling currency at a Bureau de Change, you'll need to have some valid ID with you. This can be any of the following:

Full UK photographic Driving Licence

Passport

EU National Identity Photocard

Occasionally we may ask you for additional ID dependent upon the transaction. In this case we would accept recent utility bills, bank or credit card statements or other formal ID that shows your address.

Exchange your currency at John Lewis

If you’re in a John Lewis store shopping for some last minute items for your holiday, tick another item off your holiday checklist and stop by a Bureau de Change.

Buy and Sell

Exchange your pounds into foreign currency, and your foreign currency back into pounds when you’re back from holiday.

Exchange at a great rate

We monitor the market daily to make sure we can offer competitive rates. You won't have to pay commission or any other hidden fees either.

35-Day Return Guarantee

Get a full refund of your travel money if your holiday has been cancelled. Bring your receipt or online order confirmation and a valid form of ID to any of our Bureaux de Change.

Frequently asked questions

We buy back unused currency

If you don't spend all your travel money, we can buy back unused foreign currency notes. Even if you didn't buy your travel money from us originally, we'll buy your leftover notes as long as they're in sellable condition.

When you return from holiday, simply visit one of our Bureau de Change desks in John Lewis stores nationwide.

  • We'll buy notes in sellable condition
  • We cannot buy back coins or certain denominations of banknotes
  • Buy rates differ to sell rates

Are the rates the same online and in store?

The rates on some currencies at our Bureau de Change desks may differ from those found online. You’ll find all our rates displayed on rate boards in our shops.

Are all currencies available in store or do I need to pre order?

Only a select number of currencies will be available at our Bureaux de Change branches. To find out what type of currency you can exchange, please visit the store in person and ask one of our partners, who’ll be happy to help.
